yr fucking exes' mixes

I have a tape that an ex made me, and I still listen to it a lot, because to this day it's still the best mix tape anyone's ever made for me.

I only have one mix tape made by an ex, I don't listen to it but I've since bought most of the songs I liked so I do listen to the songs from it. Some songs it took me a while to be able to listen to without feeling horribly depressed, though! It was a good tape though, had Slint, Arab Strap, GYBE, T-Rex, VU on it from what I remember. I have wondered if she ever listens or listened to the tape I made her after we broke up, she used to have it in her car stereo while we were going out. Lost touch with her about 3 years ago though.

I'm pretty much always the dumpee, it seems, so I've not really been in the exact same situation as the question asks about, but I always keep mixtapes made by exes. Though I guess most of the exes who ever bothered to make me them are still friends - two of them are actually in the process of making me new ones. When there are bad/sad memories attached to certain songs it can be hard, especially if listening in isolation, but it depends on the condition of the break-up.

If a current girlfriend/boyfriend minds you making a mix for an old one, then you have some issues to sort out regarding your relationship with either the new partner or the ex - if you're solely friends then jealousy should be irrelevant.
